In May 2022, the U.S. Legislature created an exception to the rule that the U.S. government is not liable for service members’ injuries. Under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022, service members and their families would be permitted to bring legal action to seek financial relief for their injuries/illnesses resulting from exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune. Certain requirements must be met before qualifying under the Act. Additionally, before filing a lawsuit, the victim must submit an administrative claim and receive a denial.
